coming back after 20 months, is the pinned storage table still current

test it
best travel setup for 21 days away with vials
[edited]do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far
a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that your vial cooked
anyone tested a vial before and after a bad transit
how cold is too cold, can it actually freeze in a normal fridge
freeze debate again
lyophilised at room temp for 14 days in transit, worried or not
is a five pound fridge thermometer actually worth it

i would bin it
for the archive the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is heat. plan for the season you are in
ok so i left a reconstituted vial out overnight once, sent it for testing out of curiosity, it came back fine, i think

i keep everything at the back of the middle shelf, never the door
